ograx Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Does anyone have recipe for mixing up textured paint like GW makes? The recipes I've seen and videos from youtube are a little vague on the ratios and such. I get the gist of it which combines wall filler (Drydex I assume), paint and sand. Is this what you guys use?

Doug Sundseth Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You can mix them yourself or you can just get acrylic texture mediums ("media" would be more historically correct ) from art supply stores. Then just mix to a color that you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And something that has structure and volume, so you can sculpt the result rather than just painting it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about where you are or if somewhere local has the products. Added link to the store I use here in Australia.

MojoBob Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 This guy — Luke, from Luke's Affordable Paint Service — has a video on how to make it (and lots of other useful stuff too). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
